Here we just need to use P=i^2 R for the power through the resistor, which comes out to 75 mW.
Then I doubled this for derating. 150mW.
Then I doubled this for derating. 150mW.

Rating of any device is such that it should carry current up to twice of the capacity. May be this reason so answer is doubled.

P=I^2*R is correct when current passing through it is given but they have given maximum current we known P=VI we known I 25ma. So the answer should be in multiples of 25.

Option B is correct.
Explanation:
Rating current value = Irms value.
Maximum current value = Imax value.
Imax = Irms/sqrt(2).
P = Irms^2*R.
= (sqrt(2)*Imax)^2*R.
= 150mA.
Explanation:
Rating current value = Irms value.
Maximum current value = Imax value.
Imax = Irms/sqrt(2).
P = Irms^2*R.
= (sqrt(2)*Imax)^2*R.
= 150mA.

I think the answer is 75 mW but it is not in d option.
I2R= 0.025*0.025*120 = 75 mW.
I2R= 0.025*0.025*120 = 75 mW.

p = I2R (25mA=0.025A).
P = 0.025*0.025*120.
P = 0.075W.
P = 75 mW.
Answer did not maching.
P = 0.025*0.025*120.
P = 0.075W.
P = 75 mW.
Answer did not maching.

Simply go through ohms law,
V = IR.
V = 25*10-3*120.
V = 3 v.
P=VI.
P=3*25*10-3.
P=75 mWatt.
V = IR.
V = 25*10-3*120.
V = 3 v.
P=VI.
P=3*25*10-3.
P=75 mWatt.

P = i^2*R.
So that,
P = 25^2*120 = 25*25*120*(10^-3) = 75mW.
But is not exist so that what right answer of that question.

i^2*r
=.025*.025*120=75mw
=.025*.025*120=75mw
